The classical elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire are the building blocks of the physical body as well as the subtle planes. Your ability to work with, accumulate and direct them can impact your physical health and your effectiveness in many psychic abilities. Deficiencies in any of these elements in the physical body can result in disharmony or disease in the areas associated with that element.

Exercise to Breathe in the Elements

Say three times, "I attune to the earth element." With your inner senses, attempt to create a sense of heaviness.

Repeat this process for water, air and fire, each with their appropriate sensations.
